<< Special feature >> vol.1 Boards that accelerate the improvement of board judgment. [Part XNUMX Trick]

Copy of Trick Door_A27I7110Cambers, rockers, hybrids, edge shapes, tip shapes, core materials, reinforcements ...A single board that is completed by combining elements that are hard to beat.With overwhelming skill, you can slide freely on any slope with just one and make stylish tricks.But if you have a riding style that you're trying to improve, it's a shortcut to find a suitable companion in this era.Here, we will divide it into a trick edition and a turn edition, and take up the "board judgment promotion board".

Understand your goals and your current situation

This time, I used the word "trick" as a summary, but there are various types and levels, from double cork on the half pipe to butter on the gratri.However, if you divide it roughly, or forcibly, you can classify it into two categories: you want to fly or you want to crawl on the ground.Of course, even if you say that you fly, there are a wide variety of situations such as half pipes, kickers, flat burns, natural hits, and so on.

 So what kind of board should you choose to improve your tricks faster?First of all, it is important to understand what kind of tricks you want to learn, what you want to do better, and your current level.It's better to clarify them until you have completed a detailed checklist.Be careful if you have a board that is higher than your level and it is difficult to handle because you have been looking good in the shop so far.If you choose the best companion, you should be honest with yourself first.Remember that weird pride hinders your progress.

 Generally, it is said that camber, which makes it easy to utilize the repulsive force of the board in jumping, and rocker, which makes it difficult for the edge to get caught in the item in jibbing, are better.This is not a mistake.However, it needs to be analyzed in more detail.For example, even if you jump, the target level will change depending on whether it is 5 with a 360m kicker or 15 with a 1080m kicker, and whether you can specialize in jumping in the first place or whether you want to flow the entire park ... The board will be different.This is also the case with Gratley.Do you want to perform jump-type tricks rhythmically, or do you want to aim for a big move like Rodeo Andy?However, the first thing I want to do is, again, to clarify the goal I am aiming for.

 Also, if you are interested in tricks but are not confident in your legs and legs, I recommend choosing a model with soft flex to some extent.Boards with soft flex often have soft torsion, so it is easy to acquire the skills to handle the board by yourself.Based on these, let's find a board suitable for each riding style.

Jump BF4V0123★ If you want to improve your jump

First of all, if you want to be good at jumping, whether it's a park, a pipe or a gratri, choose a model with a built-in camber structure.Thanks to the camber, the board does not shake easily even when approaching at high speed, and you can fly high by taking advantage of the camber's flexibility.Let's also add that it will increase the sense of stability when landing.With a rocker board, if you land with a backward tilt, the tail is likely to be terrorized, but with a camber, the bending of the board absorbs the impact of landing, and it is easier to recover a little.The next thing to consider is the situation.If you're jumping on a gratri or a small park kicker, you don't need that fast approach, so a camber board with a soft flex is recommended.The board center is soft, but it's even better if it's set a little harder with reinforcement from the outside of the binding.Also, if the camber element is included, the hybrid board may be included in the selection target.However, when it comes to big jumps that require a high-speed approach, choose a slightly stiffer flex to allow for quicker reactions and more stability on landing.If it is a half pipe, speed is indispensable, so we recommend a model with a full camber and a narrow waist width considering the sharpness of the bottom turn.From here, I will introduce a board to improve the jump.

Jib 4 BF4V7618★ If you want to improve Gratley & Jibing

The key points when selecting items and the feeling of being caught on the snow surface are the ease of handling the board and the feeling of being caught on the snow surface, in order to perform gratri and jibing with peace of mind and to enable lighter movement.Whether it's gratri or jibbing, you don't need an ultra-fast approach, so it's easier to handle the board itself with a soft flex and a short length.However, if you choose a flat board or rocker board to reduce the edge catching on the item, be careful because if it is too soft board, the sense of stability will be impaired.Also, if you want to do a lot of jumping tricks with Gratley, the model with a camber element that can make use of the repulsion of the board is ◎.For example, the board center is a camber, but the hybrid shape where the outside is a rocker from both feet is applicable to this.If you want to focus on quick board handling such as butter and drive, we recommend a rocker with good maneuverability.If you are good at skateboarding, you can also ride a flat board with a solid bottom feeling.However, for those who are not good at rocker slurping, super soft flex camber is not bad.In any case, it's still based on soft flex and short length.Below are some boards that will help you improve your Gratley & Jibing.

Copy of terrain 6_BF4V0231★ If you want to improve your terrain play

I want to take advantage of the terrain that appears in front of me while doing free riding and set up tricks.There is a board that makes it easier to realize the riding style that everyone longs for.It's a hybrid board that combines the best of camber and rocker.For example, wall terrain often seen in detours.It is rare that the R is beautiful, and in most cases the slope changes suddenly.If you plunge into such a point with a full camber board, the nose will stick if you do not match it with super pinpoint, or you will lose balance and it will not be a trick.Therefore, I recommend the model with a light rocker in the nose.Also, if you don't draw the approach accurately, it will be difficult to perform the trick you are aiming for, so I would like a camber element that will improve the accuracy of the turn.We recommend a double camber with a flat board center or a rocker with a camber under both feet, and a cam lock with a camber on the board center and a rocker from the outside of both feet.Also, if you want to slide the powder and play on the terrain, keep in mind that if you don't have a rocker in your nose, it's hard to control with your center of gravity in the board center.Finally, be aware that flex doesn't just play at low speeds, so if it's too soft, the board will flutter.Regarding the length, there is no problem even if it is short depending on the waist width and the board shape.Click here for a board to help you improve your terrain play ↓
